Hydrazine inhalation hepatotoxicity.

چکیده
Abstract Hydrazine is a hazardous chemical commonly used as a reactant in rocket and jet fuel cells. Animal studies have demonstrated hepatic changes after hydrazine inhalation. Human case reports of hydrazine inhalation hepatotoxicity are rare. We report a case of mild hepatotoxicity following brief hydrazine vapour inhalation in a healthy young man, which resolved completely on expectant management.

Inhibition of isoniazid-induced hepatotoxicity in rabbits by pretreatment with an amidase inhibitor.
Isoniazid (INH), a widely used drug in the prophylaxis and treatment of tuberculosis, is associated with a 1 to 2% risk of severe and potentially fatal hepatotoxicity. There is evidence that the INH metabolite hydrazine plays an important role in the mechanism of this toxicity. Metabolism of INH leads to the production of hydrazine via both direct and indirect pathways. In both cases, the activ...
متن کاملCytoprotective effects of taurine against toxicity induced by isoniazid and hydrazine in isolated rat hepatocytes.
Isoniazid is one of the most commonly used drugs to treat tuberculosis. Its administration is associated with a high incidence of hepatotoxicity. The aim of this study was to establish the protective effects of taurine against cytotoxicity induced by isoniazid and its suspected toxic metabolite hydrazine in isolated rat hepatocytes by measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, lipid per...
متن کاملTwo cases of hydrazine hydrate dermatitis without systemic intoxication.
Hydrazine hydrate is an irritant which readily vaporizes. The irritant effects are not immediately noticeable. They develop gradually over several hours (Byrkit and Michalek, 1950). The local effects are inflammation of the skin and of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract and eyes. Krop (1954) reports the occurrence of hydrazine dermatitis. Individual susceptibility to dermatitis...
متن کاملHepatic gene expression and lipid homeostasis in C57BL/6 mice exposed to hydrazine or acetylhydrazine.
Hydrazine (HD) and acetylhydrazine (AcHD) are metabolites of the antituberculosis drug isoniazid (INH) that have been implicated in INH-induced liver damage. The hepatotoxicity of AcHD and HD were compared in adult male C57Bl/6J mice by evaluating hepatic histopathology, plasma biochemistry, and hepatic gene expression. By all measures, HD had significantly greater effects than AcHD. There was ...
متن کاملIn vivo genotoxicity and acute hepatotoxicity of 1,2-dichloroethane in mice: comparison of oral, intraperitoneal, and inhalation routes of exposure.
The in vivo genotoxicity of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) was studied in the liver of male C57BL/6 X C3H F1 (hereafter called B6C3F1) mice after single p.o., i.p., and inhalation exposures. The acute hepatotoxicity of DCE was also examined in order to determine nonnecrogenic exposure levels for each route of administration. Single-strand breaks and/or alkali-labile lesions were demonstrated by alkal...
